Question-1

What steps should be taken for the disposal of nuclear waste?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-2

The two gases making highest relative contribution to the greenhouse gases are

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Due to heavy industrialisation and transportation (modernisation), $CO_2$ concentration is increasing day by day in the atmosphere. $CO_2$ has capacity of absorbing heat radiations and thus increases temperature. This increase in global temperature (global warming) is mainly due to $CO_2$ concentration and is called 'greenhouse effect'. Besides $CO_2$ , other important gases associated with greenhouse effect are $CH_4$ (methane), oxides of nitrogen ($NO_x$), CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) and $O_3$ (ozone) and these are called 'greenhouse gases'.

Relative contribution of these gases to global warming are : $CO_2$ (50%), CFCs (20%), $CH_4$ (16%), $O_3$ (8%), nitrous oxide (6%).


Question-3

Montreal protocol was signed in 1987 for control of

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

Recognising the deleterious affects of ozone depletion, an international treaty, known as the Montreal Protocol that was signed at Montreal (Canada)in 1987 (effective in 1989) to control the emission of ozone depleting substances.


Question-4

The zone of atmosphere in which the ozone layer is present is called

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-5

Which of the following pairs of gases is mainly responsible for greenhouse effect?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

The various greenhouse gases are $CO_2, CH_4$, CFCs and $N_2$O. Excessive use of fossil fuels is adding more $CO_2$ to atmosphere. This increase in concentration of greenhouse gases has led to considerable heating of earth leading to global warming. During the past century, the temperature of earth has increased by 0.6°C.
